Travel insurance

Cancerbackup appreciates that it can be very difficult for people who have cancer, or have had cancer in the past, to get travel insurance. The aim of this factsheet is to share the information we have gathered from people with cancer and their families. We also contact the companies to check that the details listed are accurate.

Cancerbackup does not offer travel insurance or recommend any broker or company.
